That’s it. Not normal.

The Belgian keeper in 1990? I remember my aul lad was sickened when Platt scored that goal coz he thought he looked a keeper that would do well in the shoot out.

TdeF main man

Many thanks @Bandage. Such praise will get you everywhere.

When youve the likes of @TheUlteriorMotive reading Runners World, you’ve created a movement.

TheUlteriorMotive · February 25, 2021, 5:26pm

Any lad not in tune with his circadian rhythms may as well forget about it.

I’d wager @Bandage is losing 10 seconds by running in the morning

As @Thomas_Brady said to me in a PM I’ve never won silver but lost gold

@TheUlteriorMotive has posted more times about going for a run, and then not going, than the total number of runs done by everyone at this stage

TheUlteriorMotive · February 25, 2021, 6:04pm

I’m like a Wexford hurling fan.

I’m revelling in the pre match banter before I inevitably get a hiding.

He wouldn’t run a bath that fella

There’s a nasty edge creeping in to the comments now as lads feel the pressure.

It’s the lads who can keep their poise under pressure who’ll be able to look in the mirror on Monday morning whatever time they run.

Went for a light saunter this evening… Still a bit tight but I think I’ll be good to go for one bash at it over the weekend. A week off won’t help the cause and I doubt I’ll beat @Juhniallio’s time… But I’d love it, I’d absolutely love it if I could dip Under 25.30 , that’s the time I’m aiming for but can see a 25.40 or there abouts.

Nice to have something to aim for…still hate hills though…

Sub 25 next week…

artfoley · February 25, 2021, 7:21pm

Quaren good count

Gman · February 25, 2021, 7:31pm

Nice last k, only 4 seconds off.

mikehunt · February 25, 2021, 7:41pm

I went out for my fat man’s stumble earlier. I thought I was sub 32 handy so got complacent and eased off. Ended up with 32:04. Can’t be arsed taking a photo and uploading. My last km was 35 seconds quicker than my first so it’s like getting a par on the last to shoot a 99.

700m of last km is downhill… 1km hill at the start and two others sprinkled in is a dose but good for varying it…

Gman · February 25, 2021, 8:06pm

Nice to finish downhill! @Locke loves that.

Juhniallio · February 25, 2021, 8:23pm

That’s the spirit. I’d be very disappointed if yourself and @Bandage didn’t give it a good lash over the weekend.

Thomas_Brady · February 25, 2021, 8:25pm

I’ll see… I don’t want to be out for 6-8 weeks just as I’m getting a bit of fitness back. I’m only back at it a few weeks kid… Gone from 29 mins 4 weeks ago down near 26, it ain’t a bad return.
